The real question is will government use VAT as a sinking fund for the nation's outstanding debt and reduce spending in the public sector. Or will the government use this as a new stream of revenue to spend like drunken sailors prior to the next election?
It is still being charged on the food and drink as a separate line item. So the customer will have the subtotal of food and beverage plus a service charge of 15% of the subtotal and a VAT charge of 7.5% of the subtotal. Are you insinuating that the extra 7.5% on the subtotal of the food and beverage charges will not be a factor in guest consideration of additional service tips? I for one, think twice about additional tipping if I am already being wacked an excess of 20% in service charges and taxes on my meal bill!
If the analysis included service quality for dollars paid, that would be very embarrassing. This study was done pre-VAT. Imagine how service will decline when additional tips above the mandatory 15% are offset by 7.5% VAT inclusion.
Nothing like one fat pig extending kudos to the other. Do the gals a favor, be leaders and drop some weight. Show some restraint and fortitude in your lifestyles. Everything else is lip service.
This woman seems not to be able to go away quietly in the night. She eludes to the timing of the convention as the reason for her loss. She needs to get over it and move on.
After the weekend long feasting BLT retreats to rest her nerve and disappointment, she will have the next week to reflect on how she now deals with the Mangrove Bush deity of the FNM in Long Island. Whilst this group supports the FNM publicly, they do love the contracts the PLP throw their way. However, given her ladyship's new situation and Mangrove Bush's demand for access to power, trips beyond the confines of Cape Santa Maria are now in order for her to retain her seat. The north has no time for her so this is a good start for her to saunter up those hills and see all in their homes all the way to Gordons. This endeavor will not only potentially save her seat but her health as well.
